An average TB break down costs farmers £14,000 + in addition to the stress and heart break of culling your livestock. In 2014 – 15 there was 3,791 new TB break downs compared to 3,938 in 2015-16 which resulted in 26,270 cattle being culled from 2014-15 compared to 29,766 culled from 2015-16. This shows TB in the UK is still getting worse.
